Converting my sprinkler system into a drip/bubbler/sprayer system

sprtsguy76 · March 16, 2012

For many reasons! The biggest reason is time. I just dont have the time anymore to hand water my containers in the dead of summer so I will be utilizing my sprinkler system that hasnt been used in 5 years. My plan is to locate and dig up all heads, move them into more convenient locations and put the appropriate risers and fittings on them. My only concern is that I plan on installing 50-60 adjustable bubblers/360 degree sprayers on this system and I hope I have enough water pressure to make it work. I'm not sure if a converted sprinkler head can be considered a 'circuit'????? Each circuit will have about 10-15 bubblers/sprayers on them. I'm using something very similar to this http://www.dripdepot.com/1104 from Home Depot. Anyone have any insight, advice or recommendations?
